Type your video topic and get a ready-to-paste set of YouTube hashtags, for regular videos or Shorts. It runs in your browser: no sign-up, nothing is sent anywhere.
How YouTube hashtags work
- Put hashtags in the description (or the title). The first three in the description show above your video title.
- Use no more than 15, or YouTube ignores all of them. Three to five relevant ones is the sweet spot.
- For Shorts, #shorts can help YouTube classify the video, so the generator adds it when you pick the Short option.
- Pick hashtags that really describe the video. Unrelated popular hashtags can hurt more than they help.
How this generator works
It builds hashtags from your own keywords: the full phrase, each key word, word pairs, and common suffixes like tips and tutorial. It does not look up live search volume, so treat the list as a starting point and keep the three or four that best fit your video. See also best hashtags for YouTube Shorts.
Next, check your description and tags and your title.
